Waitrose dumps Fox News in protest over remarks about Barack Obama

Beck is paid $$23 million $$ a year. Murdoch has to pay him
that money from someplace. So it must come from the profits
realized from less controversial shows. How do we, as
citizens, legally operate our own TV station or Radio station?
The "airwaves (supposedly) belong to us, we should be
able to use them as long as we meet the PS requirements. Does
anyone know? I occasionally hear of a "rogue" radio
station that broadcasts from homes, cars, etc... is there an
affordable (for the lower 50% of citizens) way to legally
broadcast over the airwaves? I know with TV it is not
"airwaves" etc...fuck TV then. I really do not need
someone talking down to me. How about a legal home Radio/news
program (local)? Is the best bet, until they turn that spigot
off, "youtube?" Good old local, community
organizing, on my station is what I'd prefer....

FOX news realizes that the elderly are a captive audience, and
they really work on them. They use all of the "old"
stereotypes, to make them relaxed and to show them that FOX is
just like the America they grew up in. it is almost impossible
to fight. One of the first things our new President did, was
to assure the MSM that he would NOT reinstate THE FAIRNESS
DOCTRINE. The FAIRNESS DOCTRINE is like holy water to a
vampire, to the MSM, especially Fox. Maybe Reagan was duped(by
his V.P., George H.W. Bush, the former leader of the CIA), but
I doubt it. When you say "the free market should
determine the content of "NEWS" programs; then of
course, the TRUTH is SOLD to the highest bidder. Man, it must
have taken some big pressure or promises, to make President
Obama,right off the bat,declare that the Fairness Doctrine
would not be reinstated. President Obama is very smart. He
knows the importance of propaganda upon a populace. To not
reinstate the Fairness Doctrine was a huge relief to the MSM,
who have become very comfortable "regurgitating",
not reporting. It was especially important to Murdoch, because
it makes it much easier for him to manipulate the world into
anything he wants. That was one of the first and one of the
biggest mistakes (so far) of young President Obama's career.
Hopefully he will see it in a different light and decide
differently in the future. That is the great thing, he
appoints the FCC board, and he can change this decision
easily.

You said that a lot more elegantly than I did. I agree, that
fact should have been included in my original post. I am not
ageist, and my mother notices a lot of the same things your
parents do. I only wish my Mother would read news from other
countries, because she still often believes a lot of the
"polls", and older statesmen (Richard Luger,etc..)
that FOX relies on. She (as I am) is a child of the age of the
FAIRNESS DOCTRINE, Mom doesn't think that a "news"
program would lie.

I did not mean to imply that "elderly" people are
not intelligent. In fact, I believe the opposite. I think that
elderly people are a historical narrative that is greatly
underused. What I was trying to say (in my, often,
inarticulate way) was that many people of all ages watch
(yuck) FOX "news." I notice that they do try to
"hearken back" to a simpler era often, in their
attempts to paint the world with broad strokes, much the way
that bush did...."evil doers" or using Muslim as a
pejorative. I'm almost 50, I take a lot of medicines to combat
critical stage heart disease, and I often call my older family
members to ask their opinions on important matters. I can not
disprove a negative...I apologize if you believe my post was
ageist.

for helping me pull my foot out of my mouth.
